The SATURDAY. Review recently MI

The Saturday Review recently pub.
lished a lengthy article upon the effect
OF general war in Europe upon the
world at large, and especially the United
States. Its conclusions are as follows:
A great war in Europe would increase
the demand for American produce;
secondly. because there would be a
tendency to send capital out OF the
belligerent countries to the neutral
countries for safe keeping and for in
vestment; and, thirdly, because the
population and wealth of the United
States themselves are growing so rap
idly that the home demand for securi-
ties is vast, while American investors
rarely invest their money in the secu.
rites of foreign Governments, and
they would not be likely to be tempt.

ernments were exhausting their re-,
sources and running their prospects

SAGE AND SINGER.

Within an old town by tho seq
A wise man and & singer dwelt;
The wise man spoke laboriously
And taught with pain the truth he lolt.
The singer scattered everywhere
His careless music to the air.
The wise man and the singer both
Lie now within the churchyard green.
Summer and Spring have plighted troth
An hundred years they have not seen.
No traces OF their vanished feet
Are in the old, high gabled street.
And OF the wise mans labored words,
Not one is now remembered well,
But still as clearly as Spring birds
The singers simple love songs swell,
And In the old town seem part
OF every home and every heart.

How great war in Europe would
affect the United States in some re.
spects it is easy to foretell. Emisra-
ton would be stimulated, because
persons liable to military operations,
fearing the increased taxation which
the cost OF q great war would make
necessary, would be inclined to seek a
refuge from these evils in the United
States. The demand for American
products OF all kinds would be in
creased, and thus our agriculture and
manufactures would be stimulated to
increase activity.

The Bulletin OF the Iron and Steel AS.
ISOLATION presents figures which show
that the United States last year sur.
passed Great Britain in the consump.
ton OF iron and the production OF
steel OF all kinds. We have surpassed
that nation in the production of Bes.
semer steel several times, but never
before could it be said that our agere.
gate production OF steel exceeded that
OF Great Britain in any year. Nor is
this the whole OF the story; during the
year 1885, more pig iron was consum-
ed in the United States than in Great
Britain.
